Multipurpose Configuration

In a Token-Ring network, a NonStop system can communicate with a variety of devices

and perform a variety of functions over the same SNAX/APN line. It can support

parallel LU-LU sessions, communicate with SNA terminals through XLF and function

as a workstation server. For the sake of clarity, Figure 9-4 shows SNAX/APN

performing each of these functions with a separate remote node. However, SNAX/APN

can perform all three tasks with a single remote node.
